Lucas Henrique Soares Guimarães
@lucashenriquesoaresg
I build production AI, computer vision, and distributed systems that improve reliability, performance, and scale.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently leading software and AI delivery for Syneos Health and contributing as a Staff Software Engineer at Xella Health, building backend services, frontend applications, APIs, integrations, and cloud-native systems.
At Amazon, I architected an AI-driven impact-assessment platform that reduced manual review cycles by 60% and built automated remediation that cut resolution time from days to hours. I also enabled more than eight teams to adopt LLM-augmented workflows.
As an equity partner and founding engineer at OMNICOG, I build GPU-accelerated computer vision and distributed systems using DeepStream, Triton, Kafka, Kubernetes, Python, C++, and GStreamer. My work reduced inference latency by 73%, increased throughput by 37%, and scaled processing to over 1M frames per day without hardware expansion.
I've also delivered full-stack, cloud, kernel-driver, and computer vision work for Dandy, Simulated Reality, Axcient, Agot, SIDI, Propel Projects, and Ace Centre. I combine hands-on implementation with architecture, code review, and pragmatic delivery across international teams.
